Superfood – Maquiberry Smoothie

Seriously, I felt like someone who is so not tech-savvy in this digital age. This is mainly the reason for my procrastination. Anyway, I finally got a hang of this whole formatting of page and what not,  hopefully it will get easier as time goes by:) Sharing something quick and easy for breakfast which includes a superfood , Maquiberry.

I’m not going to emphasis on how commercially manufactured cereals and flour goods are high in sugar content which is bad for you in the long run and what not.
